Part I: Lobbyists have been part of the U.S. Government system since the early 1800s. Lobbyists play an important role in healthcare, as they are advocates for their interest group. In a 4-5 page paper, analyze two examples of how lobbyists affect healthcare legislation. Conclude your paper with your opinion about whether the actions of lobbyists have a positive or negative effect on healthcare legislation in the United States. Please keep in mind the position and facility you selected. Make sure to include the following:

 

  1. Discuss the specific interest of the lobbyist in each example.
  2. Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral disputes for each example.
  3. Discuss your position on whether the lobbyists’ actions are positive or negative on healthcare legislation in the United States and support your points with details.
  4. This portion of your assignment will require you to research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting)
  5. Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

 

Part II: An agenda can set the tone for a meeting. It’s an important tool to ensure meetings are staying on track and meeting all of the objectives. Create a detailed meeting agenda for a meeting you will hold with your supervisor and fellow department heads discussing your findings (Hint: Microsoft Word has many agenda templates). SkillSurfer in the online tutoring platform offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced tutorials on Microsoft Office products. Make sure to include the following in our agenda:

 

  1. Explain each example
  2. The majority of the agenda should be focused on whether the actions of lobbyists have a positive or negative effect on healthcare legislation in the United States.

 

Make sure to use audience specific language and tone in your agenda. Remember, your supervisor and other department heads will be in attendance. Also, make sure to follow proper agenda/business formatting guidelines and make sure document is professional in appearance.

Legal and Ethical Considerations for Group and Family Therapy

 

Considering the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), the idea of discussing confidential information with a patient in front of an audience is probably quite foreign to you. However, in group and family therapy, this is precisely what the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner does. In your role, learning how to provide this type of therapy within the limits of confidentiality is essential. For this Discussion, consider how limited confidentiality and other legal and ethical considerations might impact therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy.

 

Learning Objectives

 

Students will:

 

· Compare legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy to legal and ethical considerations for individual therapy

 

· Analyze the impact of legal and ethical considerations on therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy

 

· Recommend strategies to address legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy

 

To prepare:

 

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on group and family therapy.

 

Ø Write: 

 

Ø An explanation of how legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy differ from those for individual therapy. 

 

Ø Then, explain how these differences might impact your therapeutic approaches for clients in group and family therapy. 

 

Ø Support your rationale with evidence-based literature.

World War I is sometimes described as the first war where industrialization was brought to warfare. Choose one technological advance that changed the way that war was fought in WWI.  Explain its impact and if it still effects us today.

You have recently been assigned Health Promotion as a new priority for the upcoming year.  Review the C-Span Health Promotion (Links to an external site.) video and determine how you can use this information to promote health within your community.  Explain the importance of health promotion and the impact on the nation and the world.  How much should the government play a role in our health?  How much should the individual take control of his or her own health?  Would it be a more effective strategy to invest in preventive healthcare rather than treating sickness and disease?  Provide an argument for and against health promotion.

Resource: Mayberry Satellite Campus Network Diagram

 

Review the Network Configuration Visio® document of the Mayberry Satellite Campus. This diagram will be used throughout the course.

 

Scenario: As an IT networking trainee for your organization, your supervisor has given you an assignment to extend the Mayberry Network to an additional space (see existing diagram). The organization has obtained a space to create a 20-station learning center and two classrooms at the existing location. Each classroom will have one computer for the instructor and a wireless access point for the students. Typically, your supervisor has used computers with an Intel Core i5 processor, 16 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and a 10/100/1000 Ethernet NIC, but wonders if a better solution is available and would like you to recommend a solution.

 

Develop a 1-page network diagram using Microsoft® Visio®, or one of the free network diagramming programs you researched in Week One, to create a drawing of the learning center. The diagram should include:

 

  • 22 computers that you specify
  • Detailed specification for cabling, routing and switching, and wireless or VLAN options to connect to the existing network

 

Submit your assignment.
